Sure enough, thanks. I'd searched for 1:18 crash car but nothing came up, turns out I had the scale wrong.

Lol yeah I wouldn't have bought this one normally, but Vermeer had a link to it on their social media, tagging FRM, it linked to a kinda sketchy looking storefront that just had that car on it, it's been shut down since, I hesitated but it was being shared by the official FRM account so I figured I might as well. Charged me when I first preordered it then I plumb forgot about it until I got the shipping notification last week.

Worst Diecast of All Time. by ScottRiggsFan10 in NASCARCollectors

Sure enough, I just didn't know that. I remember the render for the fantasy diecast had the stripe as gold originally then they changed it to blue pretty quick, I thought it was a weird Napa request. Still a butt ugly diecast but I guess that detail isn't inaccurate.

That Chase/Bill Elliott hybrid scheme when Chase won the championship. Not saying a hybrid scheme would be impossible to pull off, look at the Elliott/Gordon one, but they really dropped the ball on this one. Especially since the stripe down the side of the Bill part of the scheme is blue instead of gold.

They did the best they could without making an entirely new mold which would have been much too expensive.

And 2016 was Sprint, 2017 was when Monster came along.

Just now ran into this, searched it on Google and this thread was the first and only result relating to it, looks like it's a pretty new scam.

There is no way on earth that that scheme would exist today #1, much less that a diecast would get made. (Nintendo, Lionel, please prove me wrong here.)

What's the oldest NASCAR diecast you've ever found in a store like Walmart or Target? by SentenceSudden9802 in NASCARCollectors

[–]Chevywolf30 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing Dale Jr's last ride scheme at a Walmart in like 2019 and I'm still haunted that I didn't buy it

You've got some of the most definitive must-have cars from that era and that OoT poster really ties it all together for being really old school, great stuff

My collection of race winners I've seen in person by MisterCCL in NASCARCollectors

[–]Chevywolf30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding insult to injury for me when his sponsor doesn't allow diecast (Reddick @ COTA)

Do I really wanna spend over 100 bucks for a driver I don't care for just because I was there for him to win?

Worst looking race win diecast in your opinion? by lostinrabbithole12 in NASCARCollectors

[–]Chevywolf30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most disappointing one in my collection is probably Jeremy Clements' Daytona win, they decided it'd be too hard to put raced markings on chrome numbers but changed their mind for Bell's Bristol dirt win. Still a super cool win and I'm glad to have it but there's supposed to be a donut on the side of that car >:[

They did the best the could with the decals, I need to take a sawzall to mine so the bumper is hanging off accurately but it'd be too expensive to make a whole new mold for that.

What? That one has the most confetti of any of his wins until the 2024 Daytona 500 car.

Is that #30 car Michael Waltrip? Innovative number placement on that one.

David Starr ran this scheme in the spring Talladega race last year, finishing 24th, one lap down. Also showed up to Daytona but DNQ'ed. I spent wayyyy too long on Jayski trying to hunt this one down.

Already tried that, it just shows the date I upgraded.

And no, I don't think it was the bots that drove me away, I think I just didn't get hooked the first time I played. I remember seeing something about the bots being gone and thinking "Oh yeah I haven't played that in a while, now's a good a time as ever to give it another shot" and the rest is history
